Evildoers will be cut off from their inheritance, but those who wait with hope for the LORD will inherit the land. (10) In a little while a wicked person will vanish.

(12) The wicked person plots against a righteous one and grits his teeth at him. (13) The Lord laughs at him because he has seen that his time is coming. (14) Wicked people pull out their swords and bend their bows to kill oppressed and needy people, to slaughter those who are decent.
